Few points
- It is the "right" of the poor people to get zakat from the rich. The rich are not doing them any favour. The rich have to obey the orders of Allah. This means that poor should not be ashmed to take zakat.
- The poor is doing favour by accepting the zakat and not the other way round. Another reason why poor should not be ashmed to take zakat.
- Zakat can be given any time of the year but its calculation should be kept at the same time of year. maybe January 2nd of every year or say 1st Ramadhan of every year etc.
- People give Zakat in Ramadhan only because you get more blesssings from Allah during that month. Its not mandatory to give zakat only in Ramadhan. It is only mandatory to finish giving before eid.
- There are many people who keep giving zakat all round the year because of many reasons 1) they don't want to say no if deserving person is in need 2) the zakat amount is huge so they ease the burden by giving it slowly over the year.
Females are actually obliged to observe fasts during Ramadan unless they have reasons to break it which Allah permits. However, whoever missed the same numbers of fasting days during Ramadan has to make them up after Ramadan before the next Ramadan starts.
Ramadan has been celebrated for thousands of years. It is a month of fasting where you may only eat before dawn and after the sun goes down.
